Bombarda, SC

Mechanism of action

Contains two active ingredients of neonicotinoids class (imidacloprid and thiamethoxam) and one active ingredient of phenylpyrazoles class (fipronil).

Imidacloprid and thiamethoxam have an acute contact enteric action and strong systemic activity. They enter sprouts and young plants through the roots and protect them during the period of greatest vulnerability. Then they move acropetally to the aerial part of the plant and protect the new growth. Both neonicotinoids have a similar mechanism of action but differ by mobility in a plant. Thiamethoxam distributes quicker in a plant and has a higher systemic activity, thus protecting the green matter and the roots along the whole length, while imidacloprid circulates in the plant for a longer period, thus supporting the effect of thiamethoxam.

Fipronil  is a broad-spectrum contact enteric insecticide with a moderate systemic activity. It affects the nervous system of insects by blocking gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors. This active ingredient has a high and long-term insecticide toxicity. It protects the seed area from pests. Can be consumed by plants from soil and seed tubers. Ensures reliable control of imagos of soil-inhabiting pests and their larvae of all ages.

Protective effect period

The biological effect lasts during the whole period from seed sprouting to tillering of grain crops.
